The Lock Haven City Council meeting on May 2, 2023, focused on community safety and infrastructure improvements, particularly concerning lighting in local alleys. A significant discussion arose regarding the dark conditions in the alleys near the skate park and Tiger Den Park, which have raised safety concerns among residents.

During the meeting, a council member expressed confusion about the locations being discussed, clarifying that the issues pertain to the alley adjacent to the skate park rather than Hoberman Park. The alley has been described as poorly lit, making it difficult for pedestrians to navigate, especially during dusk. Residents highlighted the need for better lighting to enhance safety in these areas.

Tony Stauffer, the public works director, was mentioned as the point of contact for addressing these lighting concerns. The council agreed to reach out to him to discuss potential solutions, including the installation of additional streetlights to improve visibility.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community safety issues and improving infrastructure to ensure a safer environment for residents. Further discussions and actions are expected as the council works with public works to implement necessary changes.
